How should they eat it, and what should they learn about food? Answers to questions like these have differed over time. \u003ci\u003eFirst Helpings\u003c\/i\u003e explores the relationship between children and food in history, drawing on a rich variety of social records, cookery and etiquette books, and children's literature.
